Awakened Taboo
Everyone saw the strange change that was happening in the sky.
The vibrant colors flowing in from the enormous, torn void are gradually sweeping away the Gray Mist of this world; clearly, something is beginning to change in this world.
Only the Leader didn't take everything before him seriously. The reason was very simple: this was their Holy Sovereign's residence, and anyone who entered this world had to abide by the rules of their Holy Sovereign's residence. What did the colorful writing all over the place matter? Even if someone entered, they still had to follow the rules set by their world.
After all, their Holy Sovereign was just unconscious, not dead.
If there's one thing that really made the Leader realize something was wrong, it was that the Blue-Haired Man had somehow produced a weapon. But so what? Besides, he had a reason to take action.
On that squabbling mud, the head stared intently at Lu Yuan, the Resentment surging in its eyes almost overflowing.
With his arms torn off and pinned in mid-air, he was hammered into a pile of mud. He had never suffered such humiliation before. He had to avenge this. He would make this Outsider pay the price for everything he had done.
"Even if you can call for help, so what? Fifth Order, that's all."
The Leader's voice suddenly rose, and his head was raised towards the sky, his posture almost frenzied with piety.
"Even if we manage to create an opening, so what? None of you will escape. Prepare to face the wrath of our Holy Sovereign!"
The moment his words fell, the mass of bright red Flesh on his chest began to writhe, and the remaining blood and flesh in the mud all over his body began to flow continuously into that mass of Flesh.
At the same time, a heartbeat rose from underground.
Thump!
The heartbeat was deep and heavy, as if an unimaginably huge heart was beating in the deepest part of the world. Then came the second and the third, each one clearer and heavier than the last, as if something was awakening at a visible speed.
That heart-pounding, unsettling feeling grew stronger with each beat of my heart.
As the heartbeat reverberated, everyone present experienced a primal reaction.
First came an inexplicable sense of unease, and then, without warning, a thought arose from the depths of everyone's mind.
Kneel down, kneel down, surrender to this heartbeat!
Lu Yuan was all too familiar with this feeling. Back in Bronze City, when that Newborn Taboo being spread out its domain, it had the same will: to force all things of lower rank to their knees, to make them submit to it, and to make them its most devout servants.
However, the difference between the two is immediately apparent. The one in Bronze City had to take some action for his will to barely suppress the crowd, while the one in front of us had already reached this level simply by emitting this aura upon waking up.
This Holy Sovereign is clearly far stronger than the newly born Taboo of the Bronze City.
Hundreds of meters away, Brunkel was in a very bad situation. She was already injured and her sanity was far from its peak. The moment her willpower gave way, her knees trembled noticeably.
Clearly, she had the urge to kneel, but her eyes were filled with resentment. She clenched her teeth tightly. She was an Imperial Heretic Cleanser. In her life, she had wielded her sword against countless Heretic and eradicated countless sources of Source of Pollution. No matter what, she could not kneel and submit to such a thing, not even in death.
She remained frozen, inch by inch, straightening her body back to its original position.
The Blue Knight, however, was not significantly affected because he was unconscious.
To Lu Yuan's surprise, Oden actually swayed slightly. After all, judging from the combat power Oden was currently displaying, he seemed capable of crushing everyone present. Judging from the estimated combat power, perhaps only the Seventh Seat, along with the three Heretic, himself, and the Blue Knight, could be Oden's match.
Even Oden experienced this discomfort.
But soon, Lu Yuan understood the reason. Oden was, after all, a fragmented consciousness that had not returned to the real world for a long time. This temporarily formed body was still somewhat unaccustomed to this Taboo. If it were Oden at his peak, it would probably be much better.
However, how strong would Oden at his peak be?
Of course, if we're talking about who's truly miserable, no one can compare to Frey.
She was the Seed personally chosen by that Holy Sovereign. From the moment that thing awakened, a certain aura connected with the Holy Sovereign silently formed between Frey and the awakened Holy Sovereign.
The moment that aura spread, a whispered voice suddenly rang in Frey's ear without warning.
The voice was deep and resonant, as if something stood far away and high up, looking down at her. Beside that gaze, a steady stream of people surrounded Frey, offering words of comfort.
Although Frey couldn't hear what was being said, the words of comfort seeped into her body little by little, through her Flesh and consciousness.
Frey covered her ears in pain, but it was no use, because the sounds weren't coming in through her ears at all.
Frey slapped her head repeatedly in pain.
But at some point, Brunkel began to show a somewhat confused expression. She stood there, her eyes unfocused, as if she couldn't understand why she was there.
The mere awakening, the mere sense of oppression, is already this powerful. This Holy Sovereign is definitely Taboo powerhouse; it's just unknown which one he is.
The next moment, the enormous figure took complete shape.
Lu Yuan looked up, but could not see His outline.
It wasn't that he didn't have it, but rather that he simply couldn't remember the outline of the Holy Sovereign before him. The thing was clearly standing in the distance, yet when Lu Yuan's gaze fell upon it, he couldn't depict anything at all.
It was only at this moment that Lu Yuan realized that the thing did not seem to have risen from anywhere; it had always been there, always in this world.
The dead bodies beneath this Land of the Dead Silence, the endless pile of Flesh and bones, are His existence. From beginning to end, this group of people seems to have stood on this Taboo Flesh.
Lu Yuan's gaze was fixed on the struggling body that was taking shape, and finally, the Gray-White Text appeared.
